life
living my soul self
honoring my night dreams
languishing in my freedom
wallowing in my happiness

When words run dry,
She does not try,
Nor do I.

She just is,
I just am,
And we just are.

Nothing changes,
Wallowing in denial,
She and I....

The Muck of Life

Wallowing in muck
Brings delight into life’s plight.
If you say, “Oink.  Oink!

bohemian indulgence
monk mode renunciation
both wishing to be elsewhere
away from the here and now
are caught in egoic glue
wallowing in shallows

Life is a hoot and we mustn't forget it
Otherwise we end up wallowing in shit
Laugh and be happy
Even a bit sappy
Time for serious when we're lowered in the ditch...

Arizona is calling John John, time to mount your horse
Sure your bags are already packed, no need to be forced
Do you know that many
Are wallowing in envy
If you take me along, I'll worship you on all fours...

Would you look at them smashing all those lovely windows

Pigs dive in dirt 

But the men wallowing in their own filth 
Destroying things for no reason but for blind faith
Pigs are better better than them in not worshiping god...

I see drowning lights and slowing colours
encroached horizons and shifting soils

I feel voices my heart can't hear
As dreams despair and choices recline

You ask of me to try and cheer
a wallowing strive to crow
and bear...

there's this feeling of sinking

wallowing in the nearest darkness
splitting my self into two
swallowing the helpless feeling in my skin
ignoring the eyes of strangers and paranoia drenched thoughts

decay,swelling,and alienation...

break of day pungent 
a small swimming fish wallows 
because of the ice
~
break barbed of this day
a large swimming fish wallows
he enjoys the ice

Wallowing waters slap the brutal realization of my lover's secret plan
As the wiry sparking winds ignite a fire shortly lived
As a whirlwind of rain drowning fear agonizing pain
Paints an empty fortress of a river running away...

Dyed-In-the-Wool! 

Stains there in your palms, wallowing, ling'ring, 
Metamorphosed into tears and so drips, 
Tainting where they plunge, and you're unsullied?

Where are the “gods” when ya need them??
When they’re alleged “offspring”
Are unable to converse
Without invoking 
Their superiority
In matters spiritual.
Seeking only to convert
Those they know are wrong
To join them
Wallowing in
Self-Righteousness....

Scratching the ground
And pecking around,
Chewing on cud,
Wallowing in mud,
Sheering the lawn
And crowing at dawn,
Running for sticks,
Grooming with licks,
Prancing for show
And hee-hawing no,
Chewing on tin,
Both women and men
Are like barnyard animals....

The echoes of sound 
As I lift off my bed
Something like whispers
Of a dream unspent
The vibrations of what’s to come
And the knocking of what’s left
I have not yet ended my cycle
But something woke me
And led me to sit upright
With memories of nothingness
Wallowing in my head...

Feel joyous today, felt joyous yesterday, will feel joyous tomorrow
What's wrong, gonna see a shrink about this self-pity in which I wallow
Don't think I can carry on
Quite challenging must be strong
Has me wallowing in self-pity it's a tough pill to swallow...

witching fireside
a versus, bright host wallows
under the outside

fireside witching
a local, bright host wallows
into outside flames
~
rains OF flames
versus a, bright fiery…

the people in my life
have wrought me nothing but spite
i contemplate running
but my feet are cold
so i stay and fight
while dreaming of a better day

last night turned into cold
cuz i tried so hard
to get close to her
sleeping next to me
she broke me into pieces
and left me there
wallowing in dung....

The mountains, the plains, the seas
where man been, barely there’s ease,   
One that time can never mar
he is wallowing in war;
There is nature to nurture
in this God’s glorious earth
and look with hope to future
whence we had been since our birth.
